If you've noticed the flag on Salisbury Guildhall flying at half mast, it's in memory of a former city councillor.

Kathleen Cooper-Joel has died aged 96, having been Salisbury's Mayor in 1990 to 91.

The City Council has passed on its condolences to her family and friends.

Current Mayor of the City of Salisbury, Councillor Tom Corbin said:

“Kathleen maintained her love and interest in seeing the best for Salisbury and its people. She was very well known and respected and many will mourn her passing.”

The flag will be flown at half-mast on the Guildhall until sunset on the day of the funeral, as a mark of respect.
